Juanfran: "I’m very happy, it's what I wanted from the beginning"

Juanfran Torres has extended his relationship with our Club until June 30th, 2018. The international right-back, who’s just returned from the Brazil World Cup and, after his signing the contract renewal, starts a more than deserved holiday, and is "very happy and proud to extend my contract; It's what I wanted from the beginning. I wish I can retire playing for Atleti".

Instrumental in the four titles won by Atlético de Madrid in the last three seasons, the player from Crevillente feels at home: "Just seeing the shirt, the colours, the badge and the history is enough to make you want to give it all for this Club. When I put this shirt on, I feel that I have to give my best in the field for all of those who dream of playing with it on and cannot".

The player from Alicante believes that the team will grow more next season: "I’m convinced that the coming season will be better than the last one. I've never been more convinced".

Fans expressed their joy massively in social media for the renewal of two key players such as Juanfran and Koke. The defender only has words of praise for the red and white fans: "I can only thank the people’s support. They are always with us. If they are happy because the players who are getting the titles are staying, we can only be thankful for their unconditional support. We ask that they support us as usual and that we make a fort of the Calderón, like last year".

Regarding personal matters, Juanfran insists that the group is above all: “The team has to do well because the first thing is the team. If it goes well, I will be well. Just like the team, next season I’ll be better. I only hope to remain a starting player for Simeone and keep getting called by the Spanish national team".
